Once you have successfully implemented our Web Extend JavaScript API, Emarsys generates a product category tree on the basis of the category classification you provide for your products. You will be able to explore this category tree in Category Explorer. This tool provides you with an overview of how your products are distributed among the categories and how popular individual categories are.

Where can I find it?

Category Explorer is only visible after you have implemented our Web Extend JavaScript API.

What can I see here?

Category Explorer displays the category tree of the products you successfully uploaded to Emarsys.

Categories are always displayed in order of popularity, with the most popular category being at the top of the list. By default, the top-level categories are visible, and if there are subcategories in your category system, you can expand them by clicking the icon in front of their name.

Note that a maximum of 500 categories can be displayed in Category Explorer at a time. If there are more categories, only 500 will be shown.

There may be no data shown in the Popularity and Popularity change columns if your Web Extend implementation has only recently been completed or your website traffic is low. These fields will be populated once we have collected enough data.

If you have submitted product data in multiple languages, you will also see a language selector in the top-right corner of the screen, which lets you switch between the various locales.

The information shown in the Category Explorer is updated once a day.

What can I do here?

Checking the category tree is something you may want to do when troubleshooting potential issues with your product data file: if the category system you see in Category Explorer does not match the one you have in your web store, then something went wrong during the import of your product categories.

If you hover your mouse cursor over any category a Copy button will be displayed. By clicking this, you copy the given category path to the clipboard, which you can then paste into your Predict category widgets, for example.

Clicking will display the four most popular products, instead of just one top item, from the given category.
